  1. and were toppled tanks higher than they were wide so more top heavy? I have been looking at info re quake-proofing tanks and it has been interesting. Hope to create an article. Those with pics of their broken tanks, or the damage from sloshing water, please email them to me
  2. If you want to learn more about us Pastafarians, livingart, go to the website of the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster I had to look up "snakebites" too. Piercings of any sort make me shudder :-?
  3. Whistling? Perhaps it is happy To me it suggests air escaping somewhere. Have you checked the O rings and seals are all correctly positioned? I would have thought it would be water escaping though, not air :-?
  4. I had to look up Google to find out what a ds was :roll: :oops:
  5. Some of us have problems as zxcvbnm,. bits hit the vbnm,. keyboard :oops:
  6. Any of the live bearers - guppies, platys. Cherry barbs would look nice too. Danios are hardy though they like length to swim in as they zip about.
  7. What makes you think wcmm only live 2 years? They live a lot longer than that - or should. They are a good fish in that they seem to thrive in tropical or cold water.
  8. I gather he didn't notice you and your fiancee standing starkers in the doorway either? :lol:
  9. Get the biggest you can afford (a tank wider than it is high is best) as bigger tanks are easier to look after than smaller ones. In a small tank things can go wrong very quickly in the smaller volume whereas a bigger tank can give you time to notice something is wrong and correct it before it gets bad enough to kill any fish.
  10. Check the thread in off topic and you will see some have had losses of both fish and tanks
  11. Fish and tanks are easier to replace than people
  12. This is the best dancing dog I have ever seen! http://www.stuff.co.nz/oddstuff/4092924 ... ouTube-hit
  13. Was just talking to Gareth via Skype and they had 3 aftershocks while we were talking. He is a little nervous :-? No serious damage at his place though, except for household breakages which are insured. One of the cats as reappeared but 1 is still missing
  14. What about your 2 tanks on the computer desk? They didn't slosh on anything electrical I hope? Been thinking of you all down there and was really worried about Donna.
  15. Dennis if you really think they are dramatising too much, check out the pics in burrowssj link or look on Stuff.
  16. Not mine as he is here, not there They will be dramatising, as they do, but there is a lot of damage to the CBD. Check out the pics on Stuff. Gareth, at Belfast, said they just got power back on too. Thanks to all those people who, instead of staying at home to help their own families, head out to restore power, order, water etc to the masses.
  17. School on Saturday?? All cell sites have lost power. Generators are being taken in from all over to run the sites until mains power in restored.
  18. I don't like to ring her in case she is busy cleaning up. If she only has cordless phones and no power she won't be able to answer anyway!
  19. Add posts to the other thread please now please so we keep it all together. I never have anything above my bed, like pictures, because of quakes.
  20. Gareth said it half emptied their goldfish pond outside. Two of their cats have disappeared but he is sure they will be back. The other one, like Jenna's, just wanted his breakfast. It was only a few looters Barrie and cops put a stop to it quickly. It happens everywhere unfortunately and yes, kiwis loot too!
  21. As a domestic user, I doubt it. If you only use the basics, I can't see why you would ever need the full version but I am not a hobby photographer. If Supersi has PMd you the advantages of the full version perhaps then he could post them so we can all learn something. Of course, if he was just PMing you a super deal on one of the versions then we need not know I have always found Photo Elements did all I need. Crop, clone, alter colours etc.
  22. There is a thread going in off topic
  23. How is Donna and all the turtles?
